I’m sure people have asked this before, but would HN ever add a little more rich-text? Even just bullet points and indents might be nice.

And maybe also make new lines in the comment box translate to new lines in the resulting comment...? :D

“Critical harm” does not include any of the following: (A) Harms caused or materially enabled by information that a covered model or covered model derivative outputs if the information is otherwise reasonably publicly accessible by an ordinary person from sources other than a covered model or covered model derivative. The bogeyman is not these models, it's future agentic autonomous ones, if and when they can hack maj…

I am not convinced the text means what you say it means. All knowledge (publicly available and not) and all tools (AI or not) can be used by people in material ways to commit the aforementioned atrocities, but only the models producing novel knowledge would be at risk. I hope you can see how this law would stifle AI advancement. The boundary between what's acceptable and not would be drawn at generating novel, public…

I'm pretty sure there's a few hundred fusion wmds in silos a few hours north of me, we've had this kind of weapon since 1952.

These "activists" will go nowhere, because it's not coming from a well meaning place of wanting to stop fraudsters, but insists that all trans women are frauds and consistently misgenders them across the entire website. I wouldn't take anything they said seriously. Also I clicked two of those links and found no allegations of rape, just a few ciswomen who didn't want to be around transwomen. I have a suggestion, how…

This is the inevitable consequence of SB132, and similar laws elsewhere.

Technically you can't go over 5mph of the speed limit. And that's only because of radar accuracy. Of course no one cares until you get a bored cop one day. And with free way traffic you're lucky to hit half the speed limit.

By "not be able" they don't mean legally, they mean GPS-based enforcement.

Rental scooters have speed limiters. My class-1 pedal assist electric bike has a speed limit on the assistance. Car deaths are over 40,000 in the US per year. Why can't they be limited?

Thanks! The WSJ article was the submitted URL, but I've changed it to the governor's statement now. Interested readers will probably want to look at both.

Why would you change it? The WSJ article already contains his reasoning, plus a lot of other interesting content from major players

Maybe. I'm paranoid about the unintended cost of improvements, but it's not an absolute position.

That's actually a really good point. I've never looked into that, I just took it for granted that to get a line break on HN you need two consecutive newline chars.

I guess the thing to do would be to look at all (well, lots of) comments that have single newlines and see what would break if they were rendered as actual newlines.

Someone emailed and suggested it. I looked at the pdf and it seemed to be more substantive than the usual political statement, so I sort of trusted that it would be better. Also it's not paywalled.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41690454 remains pinned to the top of the thread, so people have the opportunity to read both.

(Actually we usually prefer the best third-party article to press releases, but nothing's perfectly consistent.)
